Chapter 605 Isn’t this interesting?
The giant cocoon is entirely made of that amazingly strong golden thread.
You don't need to guess to know that this is the "cockpit" prepared by the mysterious monster for itself to protect itself and control the mechanical behemoth without interference.
Faced with such a tough thread that can be peeled off with a knife, Pork Chop didn't even have the desire to pull out the cat sword.
At this time, it was extremely lucky.
Although I learned to transform into a ghost a few days ago, I have been scratching with my claws a lot recently.
But essentially, he has always been a bomb cat.
“Blow you up, meow meow!”
Pork Chop took out all the incendiary bombs in his bag and threw them onto the giant golden cocoon.
On the giant cocoon, flames rose.
However, what Pork Chop didn’t expect was that this thread would become brittle under the flames, but it was not flammable.
The scene of a raging fire igniting and roasting the mysterious monsters inside did not appear. It only burned out several small holes in the golden cocoon.
lived by
Sensing the danger, the mechanical behemoth roared, raised its sharp tail like a scorpion, and stabbed down hard towards the location of the pork chop.
Pork Chop quickly jumped to dodge, and the falling giant steel tail directly shattered the boulder it was standing on.
“I’m so scared, meow!”
At this moment, a series of barks came from the distance.
“Woof! Woof woof!”
“It’s a strong wind!”
Gordon's surprised shout came from below, "Pork chop! Get ready to retreat!"
“I understand, meow!”
Pork Chop jumped onto the giant cocoon, scratched it on the edge of the holes burned through by the incendiary bombs, and looked inside.
Its sight met for a moment with the mysterious monster in the giant cocoon.
“Chie!”
The mysterious monster with countless threads wrapped around its body let out a sharp scream.
Not to be outdone, Pork Chop bared his fangs and said, "Look at you!"
As he said that, a flash bomb was thrown in.
Strong light erupted inside the giant cocoon, and the mechanical behemoth suddenly trembled violently. If it weren't for the golden threads that still firmly fixed all parts of the mechanical behemoth, it might have begun to disintegrate at this time.
Pork Chop jumped left and right, flying downwards.
And Gordon, who was riding on Gale Wind, was also sprinting towards it.
“Hang bang—!”
The mysterious monster that recovered from the stun effect of the flash bomb screamed angrily, and the sound turned into a low roar under the resonance of the metal components, resounding throughout the underground cave.
The giant steel tail, dragon gun, silk thread, and various other messy things were thrown at the pork chop.
“Pork chop! Jump quickly!”
"Meow!"
Pork Chop took the plunge and at the same time, Gale Feng also jumped high, but the timing of the two didn't coordinate very well, and they were about to miss each other.
Fortunately, Gordon reached out in time and fished it out with his big hand, just in time to catch the tail of the pork chop.
“Meow meow meow meow?!”
Pork Chops being held upside down screamed, but Gordon had no time to pay attention.
“Gale wind! Run!”
"In the end what happened!"
Swaying left and right, Ms. Duda asked loudly on the slowly rising airship.
The noise of the howling wind and sand is endless. If you don't roar like this, the people around you can't hear it at all.
“I can’t tell at the moment! The mechanical behemoth has appeared!”
Anhil pointed in the direction of the castle ruins, "Anyway, bring the airship over first, but don't lower it too low, at least thirty or forty meters above the ground! Then lower the rope ladder!"
“Let’s go talk to the driver!”
Duda took Ancil to the driver's side, and Anhil repeated the request.
“That height is too dangerous!”
The driver was trying hard to control the steering wheel while shouting: "It is dangerous for an airship to take off under this wind. The terrain in the ruins is complex and the low air flow is too chaotic!
If you hover at a low altitude, something could easily happen! "
Anhil was too lazy to argue with him, and directly pulled Ms. Duda aside, "That is an unprecedented ancient dragon-level creature!
At its core, it is an insect less than fifteen meters long, but it can control tens of thousands of tons of stone and steel parts to assemble it into a beast that is no less than a super-giant ancient dragon!
Miss! You understand the danger of this creature. Only Gordon has fought it and has information about it!
Whether it is for the guild, Longliyuan, or countless towns in the southern part of the continent, this information is more important than anything else! "
Ms. Duda rolled her eyes helplessly while being surprised by the mysterious creature described by Ancil.
This guy talks nonsense all the time, and the most important thing is that he speaks righteously and well-founded words. Should he really be worthy of being a descendant of the Sterling family?
Although he had no intention of giving up on the hunter named Gordon, other members of the advance team were not necessarily willing to risk their lives to get close to saving people.
So you have to convince everyone with the truths such as "ancient dragon-level creatures", "information only possessed by Gordon", and "the safety of countless people is related to it", right?
Ms. Duda stretched out her finger and poked Anhir's forehead, and then walked over to communicate with the driver.
With the concerted efforts of the crew, the transport airship shook and bumped, but it continued to fly in the direction of the castle ruins.
Anhil quickly came to the side of the ship, set up the heavy crossbow, adjusted the scope to high magnification, used it as a telescope, and locked on the wellhead leading to the underground cave.
This is their only entrance and exit.
The driver, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, was covered in sweat, and the sweat was stained with the fine sand blown by the strong wind, making him look gray and gray.
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "We can't go any further! The airflow next to the large building will be even more chaotic. If we get closer, we will be photographed on the castle!"
“Hover as much as possible! Maintain altitude!” Ms. Duda responded loudly.
“With such a strong wind, it’s impossible to hover!”
“Then control the airship in a circle!”
Anhil's eyes were fixed on the mouth of the well. He was not sure whether Gordon, Pork Chop and Gale could run out in time.
“Roar, rumble, rumble—!”
A low muffled roar could be heard faintly underground, and even the biting wind could not completely cover it up.
“What’s the sound? An earthquake?!” a sailor with sharp ears asked loudly.
"have no idea!"
Immediately afterwards, the earth really shook violently.
In the area near the castle ruins, the already dilapidated building ruins collapsed in pieces, and the ground was slightly raised, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Anhir's eyes turned to the ridge of the land, his expression frighteningly gloomy.
Of course he knows what the giant thing is about to break through the surface of the earth, but
“Look! Someone is running out!” A crew member standing on the side of the ship pointed in one direction and shouted.
Anhil turned his head sharply and looked.
Gordon rode Gale Wind, carrying the pork chop, and rushed out of the ancient well that had been dry for many years. He was running wildly in the direction of the airship on the road that was not wide.
And behind them is the earth getting higher and higher.
“Get off the rope ladder quickly!” Anhir shouted.
The heavy ladder was thrown down by the crew, but its length was slightly insufficient and it did not even touch the ground.
“Quick! Descend a little more!”
“I’ll try my best!” the pilot was also shouting, and he slowly pushed down the elevator.
However, at this moment, a strong wind blew, forcing the empty boat to float higher.
“Rumble, rumble—!”
The earth was split open.
The first thing to be lifted out of the ground was a wedge-shaped head made of steel. It opened its huge mouth full of iron teeth and let out a bell-like roar.
Everyone in the airship couldn't help but open their mouths.
Although everyone has heard about the mechanical behemoth, "hearing about it" and "seeing it with your own eyes" are two completely different things.
The airboat is still rising slowly, riding on the wind.
“Hey! Bastard! Descend quickly!” Anhir almost turned the gun and pointed it at the driver.
"The wind is too strong! It can't go down, it's going to be out of control!" The driver's face was covered with sweat, and grooves were made on his face covered with dust, making him look embarrassed and funny.
Just when Ancil was about to lose his mind, he had the dangerous idea of snatching the rudder.
The gale chasing behind the airship seemed to have broken through some kind of bottleneck, and its speed suddenly increased.
Without anyone's command or reminder, it used its strength to jump onto the remains of a building, and used the broken stone roof as a springboard to jump up.
“Ouch!”
It used its teeth and front claws to climb up to the end of the rope ladder floating in mid-air.
“Great job!” Anhir almost jumped up. He shouted dancingly: “Quick! Get up quickly! Pull them up!”
The airship was swaying in the strong wind, riding on the wind, rising higher into the sky.
Below, the mechanical behemoth raised its neck and opened its huge mouth, trying to bite Gordon Gale and the others hanging at the end of the rope ladder, but in the end it took a step too slow and ate nothing.
You can only watch the transport airship passing through the wind and sand, rising into the clouds, and finally disappearing at the end of the field of vision, letting out waves of unwilling roar.
“Hoot buzz—!!”
A frighteningly large tooth hound, a similarly large and heavily armed hunter, plus a hunting cat that can only be counted as a fraction.
The crew spent a lot of effort to finally drag these extremely heavy guys onto the airship deck.
Ms. Duda just felt lucky at this time. Fortunately, their rope ladder was made of iron chains and was strong enough. They had to use smaller cables.
Maybe it’s all broken.
Gordon, Pork Chop, and Gale were lying on their backs on the deck, gasping for air.
Ancil's stinky face came into Gordon's sight.
The latter couldn't help bursting into laughter.
“Hahahahaha!”
“What the **** is wrong with you?” Anhil couldn’t help but curse.
“Working hard and getting nothing, but isn’t it quite interesting!”
ˆPs.
Of course it is impossible to defeat that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that.
According to the description in the game, the Mantis Guild summoned "unprecedented strength" including Ryūliin's air units to finally complete the crusade.
It is too exaggerated to be able to hunt with two people now.
The reason why Pavilion Mantis appears once first is that with the setting of this monster, it is basically impossible to kill it at the first encounter in reality.
You must first be aware of the existence of this kind of thing, then collect targeted intelligence, organize forces, and arrange tactics before you can kill it.
The real plot of hunting the mantis in the pavilion will take a long time, so you can dig a hole first.
However, it is indeed mentioned in the setting that the ecological niche and combat power of the Mantis in the normal state are lower than that of the ancient dragon, while the Mantis in the "Xu City" state is considered to be upper-class among the ancient dragons.
In this way, for real practical reasons, the most correct approach is to arrange for a team of masters to look for opportunities to kill the pilot before the Gundam is activated (why do I think of Mercury Witch's Pomodoro?).
But the novel cannot be written like this, it is too vulgar and boring. If there is no Gundam, is the Mantis still called the Mantis?
